Ram Dass. Terence had some interesting ideas, but he usually sounds like he's out of his mind talking in circles to me.
Also Aldous Huxley is great.

Tim leary did great work on the psychedlic experience, not sure if he wrote anything else though. I'd look into that as well.

Yeah he's got some other writings as well. I've been meaning to check out more of his stuff. I have The Politics Of Esctacy. It was OK, but it's not one of his more well known works.

I read the psychedelic experience recently, it was actually really good. Shed a new light on tripping.

I would personally go for Ram Dass. I feel his teachings have affected me in a greater more meaningful way than mckennas

they are two completely different people
if you're going for mckenna get 'true hallucinations', it's the best trip report ever!
i never really got into ram dass, he's a cool cat as far as i know.
thich nhat hanh and his mindfulness teachings, if you've never heard i highly recommend them.

Thich Nhat Hanh is so hardline against the use of mind altering substances that I've always had a hard time getting too deep into what he's saying.

psychedelics get u their automatically, but if you can get there manually then there's no need for any drugs, or mind altering substances.
